MU'LrIenArH ,Application filed November This invention relates to new and useful improvements. in jogging .devices and has for its principal object the provision of a device of this character which can be expeditiously attached to a multigraph machine for the purpose of jogging printed sheets of paper discharged from the multigraph machine. I

- A-further object of theinventionis the production of a device "of this character which is arranged and adapted to be attached to a multigraph machine to be automatically operated thereby A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character arranged and adapted to be connected to a multi-. graph machine to be operated thereby asthe machine automatically discharges printed sheets of paper. r

- Other object will appear hereinafter. a

'The invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference "to the accompanying drawings showing the'preferred form of construction and in which: 7

attached to any'con--- upwardly extending spaced side walls 14;

"carried by a bottom 15 having elongated slots 16 formed therein for the reception and accommodation of upwardly projecting spaced jogging 'fingers 17 which are adapted to move transversely of the bottom 15 and slots: 16. The jogging fingers 17 are, operatively mounted on a slide bar 18 which in turn is mounted on spaced parallel extending slide rods 19 i v which extend transversely of and beneath the bottom '15, said slide bar being held on "the slide rods 19 in the desired adjusted position by set screws 20. The slide'rods 19,

as bestillustrat transverse slidable movement by brackets'2l and 22 having spaced aligned holes through which these slide rods are adapted to work, and the'sebrackets21 the bottom 15. A connecting bar 23 is provided to join the, slide responding ends and this'connecting bar is 'operatively"connected to a link'24which in turn is pivotally connected'to a bell cran ed in Fig. 4 are carried'for and 22a-re carried by rods together at corpivotal movement by a screw 26 carried "by the bracket 22 as best illustrated in Fig. 4. 'A'rm 25 of. the bell crank has a threaded end 27 for threaded engagementwith a ball tion 28, the ball being connection'has a threaded portion 31'which 1s adapted toireceive an angledend 32,- of

and socket connecindicated at '329 and The socket part of this a connecting arm 33 and hold said connect-f "to ane'xtensi'on 12operated by a gear-1e' ing arini'noperative connection with the ball and socket connection 'byineansiof a operatively con 1 ed to receive the end which operates the feeding arm 12, as best 1. The connection at illustrated in Fig.

means of a point is accomplished by shoulder screw 86 having reduced portions 37 and -:fied form of construction of the ball and socket joint illustrated in Fig. 6. This con struction'is substantially the same as that shown in. Fig. 6 with the exception that the connecting arm 33 is provided with a threaded end portion a0 having threaded engagement with the socket portion'30 of the ball and socket connection.

In the operation of a multigraph machine,"the paperis automatically fed to the type drum by tie feeding arm 12 in the usual manner now employed in machines of 7 this type and as the paper 1s fed to. the drum therefrom and a printed sheet is automatically discharged received by the; shelf and as this operation continues the sheets rest on the self in disarranged pile form' with the edges of one sheet overlapping the edges of the one below. It is therefore an object of the invention to retain the sheets in an even and neat pile so that the same can be convenientlyremoved at the proper time without first manually jogging the paper and this is accomplished by the use of the jogging fingers which move in the slots transversely of the shelf jogging} the pile of printedsheets of paper against the side wall toward which they are moved. The movemerit of these fingers is in'unison with and 'uponeach operative stroke of the feeding arm. V

' In order to jog the paper sheets of various sizes we have mounted the ogging fingers on an ad ust-able slide bar which can be adjusted in any desired position on the slide V From the foregol rods beneath the bottom ofthe shelf;

' g description and with reference, to the accompanylngdrawings it isapparent that we provide a device which is capable of arranging sheets of printed papers 111' an even and neat p le thus greatly facilitating the removal ofv the pile of paper from the receiving shelf.

While. we have shoW and descri'ibld :preferred form of our;invention it is to be understood tions may Having thusiset I we claim as new and useful is:

' }1." A jogging device including a shelf ing a vertically extending side wall, jogging that various'changes and alterabe carried out during manufacturewithout departingfrom'the spirit of the invention or the scope of the. appended claims. 7 r 7 forth our invention, what havfingers movable toward and away from the member providing a connection between one end of the operating member and the supporting members, and operating means having operative connection with'the opposite end of the operating member.

2. A jogging device including a shelf having transversely extending slots formed therein, spaced supporting members mounted for' reciprocatory movement beneath the shelf transversely thereof, a supporting bar carried by the supporting members for movement therewith, jogging fingers carried at opposite ends of the supporting bar and extending upwardly through the slots, means providing a connection between the opposite correspondingends of the supporting members, and operatingmeans having operative connection to said means. 7 V

,3. A jogging device including a shelf, jogging fingers movable transverselyof the shelf, supporting members mounted for reciprocatory movement transversely of the ber pivotally carried by said supporting.

means and having an end portion operatively connected to the member, and operating means operatively connected to the opposite end of the operating member. 7 a

a. A jogging device including a shelf having a vertically extending side wall and v having transversely extending slots formed therein, brackets connected to the shelf, rod members supported by the. brackets for reciprocatory movement transversely of the shelf, a supporting bar carried by the rod U members for' adjustment longitudinally.th reof, jogging fingers carried at the 1 opposite ends of the supporting bar and extending upwardly through the slots,a member "con necting opposite corresponding ends of the rod members together, a bell crank pivotally carried by one of the brackets, a link member providing a connection between one end of the bell crank and the member, and, operating means operatively connected to the opposite end of the bell crank. 5. The comb'nation with a paper feeding t arm, a supporting shelf, jogging. fingers mounted for movement transversely of the shelf, means movable transversely of the shelf and supporting the jogging fingersffor movement therewith of. an operative connection between the movable means and the paper feeding arm, said operative connection including a bell crank pivotally" associated with the shelf; a connection between one end of the bell crank and the movable means, a connecting arm having an end portion operatively connected to the feeding tween the opposite end of the bell crank arm, and a universal joint connection be- In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures.
